bob1949b Posted June 9, 2008 Report Posted June 9, 2008 Here are a few pics of my motor. I still need plug wires and a coil and a fan belt. I know it's not the correct colors but I am not restoring the truck to sell it so I painted the color I wanted:D . I was lucky enough to only break 4 manifold bolts. It was the first time I had to drill and tap something, It was quite the pain in the *#$. 3 hours and 20 some drill bits later it turned out great. By the way does anyone have the part number for the fan belt,and are they available at auto parts stores? Thanks Quote
TodFitch Posted June 9, 2008 Report Posted June 9, 2008 A Goodyear Hi-Miler 22494 belt fits pretty well on my 1933 DeLuxe and I don't think they changed that much over the years or between trucks and cars. Quote
Merle Coggins Posted June 9, 2008 Report Posted June 9, 2008 I got my belt from Napa. P/N 24489 fits perfectly. Merle Quote

TodFitch Posted June 14, 2008 Report Posted June 14, 2008 I got the motor put in today! Here are some more pics. Looking good. What fan belt did you go with? I assume it is a truck frame, but that front shock mount looks the same as the beam axle 1937 vintage cars. Quote
bob1949b Posted June 14, 2008 Author Report Posted June 14, 2008 Yes it is a truck frame, a 1949 1-ton. As far as the belt the other ones I got from Auto Zone and Napa were 1" to big. The one that ended up fitting was a 48" one from Oreilly auto parts. Quote
